we again introduce Coach Ryland Huyghue...
This Is Ryland Huyghue,I am the head lacrosse coach at California State Fullerton Men’s lacrosse program and have played lacrosse for 42 years. During that time I have played with and against the best lacrosse players in the world. For over 20 years now I have also been coaching at different levels and am currently coaching the Cal State Fullerton Division II team.
I joined the Cal Fullerton program last spring in it’s second full season. The first season they lost every single game. When I saw them for the first time, I knew I had a tremendous challenge. After only one season we improved to an above 500 season focusing on fundamentals. I knew we had some great athletes; we just needed to figure out a way to get some kind of edge.
As you all know, lacrosse is the fastest game on two feet. I figured we needed to be in better condition than our opponents so I focused on conditioning. That was going along fine. There is an old quote by the Famous Jim Brown who played lacrosse at Syracuse ("If you’re not running in the 4th quarter you’re not in the game"). I use this quote every day for games and practice. I could see the progression but I thought we had to get quicker, faster to beat our opponents up and down the field. I needed a solution. That’s where Mr. "GoGo" Ed Lovelace and
Phewsioneering came in.
A very good associate of mine Drew Panell (The Official ReLAX Phewsioneer of Phewsioneering), introduced me to Mr. "GoGo" Ed Lovelace, I thought he was some kind of Hollywood actor. Seriously! Drew said if you want to get your guys faster you need to go to his guy, Ed Lovelace who invented Phewsioneering! I said what the hell is Phewsioneering? Drew said just talk to him, so I did. I had no idea what Mr. Go Go was talking about. So I said to him stop with all the mumbojumbo, action speaks louder then words. The question I posed to him was simple. Can you make my guys quicker and faster? He replied, "guaranteed, not only will I make them faster but stronger from your slowest to your fastest players". I said "sure" and chuckled beneath my breath. (He said I was gonna pay for that.)
I said to Mr. Go Go, (I guess that’s for going fast) come out to California and show me what you have. It was on, I told my guys that some dude Ed Lovelace is coming out here from the East Coast to do a Speed Symposium" and he is guaranteeing to make you all faster. There was serious doubt on everyone’s part.
Two weeks later Ed showed up and did a two day symposium. He got my guys running like I’ve never seen them run before in 15 minutes, even my 240 pound goalie. This all happened the first day. Everything was timed and verified (“the clock doesn’t lie”). He showed us a few things we were doing wrong and added a few things we had never done. The key to all of this is efficient mass distribution. He taught us how to distribute weight more efficiently. Mr Go Go put us on a progressive work out system plan that we still do to this day.
We started out with 300 WABBA's a day (some kind of sit up/crunch that stands for Who's Afraid of the Big Bad AB) which I thought my guys could never do. Now we are up to 2000 WABBA's at every practice in less than 10 minutes which amazing and my guys want more!
The real test was our first game which I won’t mention the team we played out of respect for them. They went up 2 goals to nothing in the first few minutes. After our guys adjusted and started flying up and down the field. Our opponent had no idea what hit them. By the end of the 2nd quarter you could see the opponent was starting TO DRAG THEIR FEET, WHILE OUR GUYS WERE JUST GETTING STARTED. WE BROKE FOR HALFTIME AND I ASKED THEM HOW THEY FELT? They replied great coach we’re ready to go. At the end of the third quarter we had scored 13 goals. You do the math; it just might be a world record for that manhy goals in a quarter. In the beginning of the fourth quarter the officials asked us to stop scoring so they could go home. I told them we have our third and fourth team in there. Even the other team wanted to quit, they just had nothing left. It got so bad that with "11 minutes" left in the fourth they turned out the lights and killed the the game. That was the end of the game. We won 19-2. This a true story
The teams that we have beaten are the same teams that destroyed us two years ago. Take a look at the scores below. We went from not being ranked to being number 1 in the MCLA Div II and holding strong consistently in the top 3 teams in the country. ALL I CAN SAY IS.....
THIS RELAX PHEWSIONEERING SYSTEM WORKS and I give all the thanks and praise to Mr. GO GO Ed Lovelace and Phewsioneering HQ for introducing us to their speed operating system.
